Some Recent CMS Sites By SkinnyFish

SkinnyFish Media (the full service media company I work for) has recently began working almost exclusively in CMS Made Simple for their content management solutions.

Here are the first of many to come CMS Sites that we've done.

www.meridiandirectional.com
This is a pretty simple site, very little flash, just some custom menu manager templates, some javascript on the contact page and some inventive use of News.

www.digitaleditions.ca
This is another simple little site.  Some flash for the side and menus, a javascript image rotator with fade in, formbuilder for the contact form, and the album module for the gallery.

www.precedeohs.com
This site uses numerous menu manager templates to create image menus and the menus along the top of the folder and on the inside cover.  I modified the Calendar module (resulting in 0.7.10) to do some neat and interesting things.  Formbuilder is used on the contact page.

www.elementemag.com
This site is almost exclusively using the News module (News 2.6 was developed for this site).  Numerous News summary templates are used, but only one detail template.  There's some javascript in the detail template to allow the image selection stuff to work, and a custom menu manager template. 
This one still has a few rough edges to work out.

Very nice.

I think there's a typo in the first URL - I believe it should be:

www.meridiandirectional.com

Nice sites Calguy1000,

I think there are some points in IE6 (that's what I use during the day at the office).

The second site has a little content-box outside the content-area.
The third one pushes the content down (I think) as I only see text at the main-page, through the footer.

Hi Calguy1000,

(Viewing in IE7)

Lovely sites, thanks for posting. Personally my fav is Precede, it's a great design, clean but interesting.

However, I am paid to be pedantic so can I just point out on Digital Editions site, the menu title 'whos who' needs an apostrophe (in the top hover submenu).  ;) And under pricing, there's a space in the brackets at the bottom: ( our BAT) - now I even bored myself with that one - sorry!

And on Elemente, I'm getting a lost image for 'Download 2007 Elemente Calendar'.

:)

Very nice...

Meridian Directional > Company hover shows it as 'Home Page, shortcut key=1' ... must have been the original home page, the source shows some extra as errors and the div id="clearer" should be a class instead of id as it is used more than once, IDs should be unique...

Element home page header has a link to issue.php giving a not found error, and it has a lot of the errors also...

Boss don't make them run thru validation?... ;)

Very good but as I am Perfectionist say that after a rectification of xhtml would be at 100%, including the menus have the most and lack some alt=" " on the images


Good sites
